Research from the Steve Shea Lab sheds light on the roles noradrenaline and dopamine play in social behavior. The findings may offer a new framework for thinking about the personal interactions that define our social lives. https://www.cshl.edu/a-tale-of-two-neuromodulators/ #neuroskyence

To close out the AI in Biology Symposium, EMBL-EBI Director, Ewan Birney delivered this year's Dorcas Cummings Lecture, exploring how AI is helping scientists reshape the future of research. Watch Birney's full presentation here: https://www.cshl.edu/videos/the-new-era-of-ai-in-human-biology/

Using diversity oriented clicking (DOC), developed in the Moses laboratory, researchers are one step closer to restoring the effectiveness of antibiotics against antibiotic-resistant illnesses. Read more here: https://www.cshl.edu/a-secret-weapon-against-superbugs/

Thank you to Elliot Hershberg for so thoroughly highlighting Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory's AI in Biology Symposium: https://centuryofbio.com/p/cshl

We caught up with CSHL Fellows during the program's 40th anniversary celebration to reflect on how the program shaped the groundbreaking research they're leading today. https://www.cshl.edu/born-of-curiosity-cshl-fellows-program-marks-40-years/ #Research #InspiringDiscovery #ScienceMakesLifeBetter

In honor of the upcoming 250th anniversary of the United States, Forbes compiled a list of the 250 greatest immigrants alive, and CSHL Professor Adrian Krainer is one of them! https://www.cshl.edu/krainer-included-in-forbes-most-successful-immigrants-list/

CSHL's Neuro-Imaging and Behavior Core Facility uses state-of-the-art optical and ultrasound imaging for neuroscience research. Researchers that study disorders, like Alzheimer's disease, rely on this resource to better understand how the brain processes sensory information and decision-making.

What if we could test treatments on a patient's digital twin? Or predict mutations before they happen? Or cut drug development in half? At the 90th CSHL Symposium, those questions weren’t speculation. Catch our recap → https://www.cshl.edu/ai-goes-biological-at-90th-cshl-symposium/

Day 2 at #CSHLSYMP26: AI in genomics & evolution insights from @Avsecz, @pkoo562, @deboramarks. Science on the lawn! #InspiringDiscovery #AIinBiology #ScienceMakesLifeBetter

The evening closed with a packed poster session: the real peer review, face to face. #InspiringDiscovery #CSHLSYMP26 #AIinBiology #ScienceMakesLifeBetter

Then the symposium did what only CSHL can do: moved the conversation to the lawn in front of the historic Carnegie Library. Wine, cheese, and the kind of unscheduled science that does not fit on any agenda.

The afternoon session closed with Debora Marks of @harvardmed.bsky.social reminding us that evolution is the longest-running optimization experiment in history and that language models trained on sequence diversity are finally letting us read what evolution has been writing for billions of years.

Peter Koo, CSHL's own, grounded the session with something every practitioner needed to hear: deep learning models are only as useful as our ability to interrogate them. Improving interpretability is not a footnote. It is the work.

The morning session on AI and Regulatory Genomics opened with @avsecz.bsky.social of Google DeepMind making the case for why the non-coding genome is no longer a black box. The tools to read regulatory logic at scale are here.

CSHL Professor Chris Hammell & his team have discovered the developmental clock responsible for coordinating development across all cells in C. elegans. This is the first non-repeating biological clock of its kind ever found. https://www.cshl.edu/how-our-biological-clock-starts-and-keeps-ticking/

The CSHL Fellows program began with CSHL Professor Adrian Krainer, a shining example of the importance of investing in early career scientists. His research was used for the development of Spinraza, the first approved drug for spinal muscular atrophy (SMA). #SMAAwareness #ScienceMakesLifeBetter

CSHL Professor Dave Jackson is joining the likes of Charles Darwin & Albert Einstein as a Fellow of the Royal Society. The Royal Society recognizes and supports excellence in science and encourages the use of science for the benefit of humanity.  #InspiringDiscovery #ScienceMakesLifeBetter

Have you heard of #DopamineLoops on social media? It turns out mouse moms and surrogates know what that feels like, too! Watch Postdoc Katie Day break down the connection in our latest video. https://www.cshl.edu/videos/brains-on-babies/ #InspiringCuriosity #neuroscience #ScienceMakesLifeBetter

Thank you Women's Health Mag for covering this important new study, now the #1 trending story. Fish oil might not be as “brain-safe” as we’ve long assumed. Check out the Women's Health article. https://www.womenshealthmag.com/health/a71242335/fish-oil-brain-injury-study/

How do we learn to remember? Since the ‘80s, scientists have thought dehydration may play a role at the molecular level. New research from Furukawa Lab @CSHL published in Nature Neuroscience confirms it. Our summary: https://www.cshl.edu/dehydrations-role-in-learning-and-memory/ 

We're excited to share that Assistant Professor Helen Hou and her lab have been selected as one of the 7 inaugural project partners of the International Brain Laboratory (IBL). https://www.cshl.edu/helen-hou-partners-with-international-brain-laboratory/ #InspiringDiscovery #ScienceMakesLifeBetter

Could the origins of human speech lie in the brain wiring of a singing mouse? Thanks to The New York Times & Annie Roth for this great article spotlighting Arkarup Banerjee & Tony Zador https://www.nytimes.com/2026/05/06/science/a-mutation-gave-humans-the-gift-of-speech-these-mice-have-it-too.html

CSHL’s Navlakha Lab discovered a natural Voronoi diagram in Chinese money plants.
